What's this?

Smoltz said they are taught to do it because you might get the call.

I just read the rule and am honestly more confused than before. As a right handed batter, he literally ran as straight of a line to the base as possible. Fielder made a bad throw and it was still almost simultaneous with Turner hitting the bag. If the rule means interference in that case then it needs to be changed. What the hell else is Turner supposed to do there? Run 2 feet outside the line?

What a terrible call ** -- CPRVHokie 10/29/2019 10:44PM

Maybe Karma will rule in the end... Rendon! ** -- Bleedin OandM 10/29/2019 10:54PM

D'oh! ** -- Brown Water 10/29/2019 10:59PM

As someone who doesn't follow baseball, the call makes no sense -- bulab 10/29/2019 10:52PM

The dirt isn't the line -- Beerman 10/30/2019 12:54AM

Right, and you know it's a garbage call because if he'd truly been... -- Gobbler-100 10/30/2019 01:40AM

If he'd touched bag before the collision, he's safe. -- 48zip 10/29/2019 10:56PM

This is crazy. At the time of the collision he's like 60% in the lane... -- Gobbler-100 10/30/2019 01:37AM

I think the issue is at what point does the interference stop. My -- 48zip 10/30/2019 07:49AM

Exactly. He's just running for the base without knowing where ball is going ** -- Bleedin OandM 10/29/2019 10:54PM

But he was in field of play. Illegal to do that or everyone would. ** -- 48zip 10/29/2019 10:57PM

I can’t explain. Apparently 48zip knows the rule.All I know is replay sucks ** -- CPRVHokie 10/29/2019 10:54PM

Why? Interference was before touching the bag. ** -- 48zip 10/29/2019 10:48PM

That’s cause it was a crappy throw. Awful call. ** -- VTBB 10/29/2019 10:56PM

Why? Right to the glove.. Did you hear Smoltz? -- 48zip 10/29/2019 10:59PM

Smoltz said they are taught to do it because you might get the call. -- VTBB 10/29/2019 11:04PM

Yes. That's the reason for the lane. ** -- 48zip 10/29/2019 11:05PM

Don't follow baseball, always wondered what that line was for. ** -- RTFC 10/29/2019 11:09PM

And now, you will never forget! ** -- 48zip 10/29/2019 11:12PM

Horrible call ** -- Brown Water 10/29/2019 10:55PM

Ball was not thrown directly to 1st baseman. ** -- IB4TECH 10/29/2019 10:50PM

Doesn't matter. ** -- 48zip 10/29/2019 10:52PM

Now it probably doesn't, haha. ** -- MP4VT2004 10/29/2019 10:54PM

Yep. ** -- IB4TECH 10/29/2019 10:53PM

God. I don’t even care. This replay crap sucks. Just make a bad call and -- CPRVHokie 10/29/2019 10:51PM
